1970 400 Versatile swather

Hi, does anyone know how to replace the left wheel hydrostatic drive belt on a 400 Versatile swather? Mine has two belts for the left wheel, and a double wide for the right one. One of the left wheel ones has broken, but both need replacing.
It seems that I have to remove the entire pulley system. The main drive belt (towards the front of the machine behind the seat), to get the new belts threaded over to the pulleys for the left wheel if I have to do it from the front, I'd have to get it over all the other pulleys.
It would be nice if I could come from the back and put it on from there, but I believe the drive shaft is going through all those pulleys..?
Help?
 
Yep, lotta stuff going on there!

The "400's" were the most popular windrowers around here 40 years or so years ago, built in Winnipeg, a couple of hundred miles NE of me.

I linked a thread from "peagrower" below, who's dealt with the same "system".

You can look up parts at the FIAT website https://partstore.agriculture.newholland.com/us, based upon the year or serial number of your machine.
Someone else with th same issue
 
Thank you. You'd think it would be easier to get a schematic or a demo of how to replace it if it was made up here. I am dreading this fix. But I have about 180 acres left to cut. And it's getting late!
I'll try the link.
